Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sport in general, and sports practice in particular, have established themselves as a social fact in the world. Understanding this situation from the perspective of social benefit is one of the main objectives and analysis of sports policies. Thus, the sports sector is in permanent adaptation to the way people want to practice sports and physical activity in their leisure time, with a focus on a sports lifestyle and active leisure.
On the other hand, the promotion of policies that favor sports practice are more necessary than ever. As the current pandemic situation with many mobility restrictions in the world population has shown, prior adherence has proven to be a determining factor. For this, the benefits of practicing physical activity on a regular basis must be worked on from an early age, and in different areas of the population, promoting physical activity programs with adequate permanence and stability over time. In addition, sports practice is also an important vehicle that favors social relationships, generating continuous situations that facilitate the creation of contacts and relationships that favor socialization, and consequently, the creation of groups that share concerns, interests and values, but that end up generating a relationship of trust and social cooperation.
This call for papers invites specific and multidisciplinary contributions, which include works approached from a quantitative, qualitative, mixed method, or even from a conceptually integrative perspective (systematic review) that address the main dimensions in a related way, or that show have implications for dimensions not studied directly.
The issue invites disciplinary specific and multidisciplinary contributions, including but not limited to the following topics:
- Sport and leisure
- Social relations and sport
- Sport and quality of life
- Sports and leisure policies
- Social development and sport
- Healthy organizations
- Physical education and social relations
- Social relations and motivation towards sports practice
